The Biofilm Problem
The narrow width and extensive length
of dental unit waterline tubing provides
the ideal surface for the growth and
survival of colonies of microorganisms.

In the early stages of contamination,
the first microorganisms to colonize the
surface of DUWL’s are able to adhere by
using a weak bond that is relatively easy
to break with conventional treatment.

As biofilm continues to build up on the
walls, it promotes water stagnation and
further biofilm growth.
However, if these first layers of bacteria
aren’t immediately removed, they begin
to build a sticky matrix that creates
visible biofilm, or “slime.”
